Sweet Like Candy

Baby ain’t it the strangest thing

How it’s all in the timing

And how I’ve known you most of my life?

A double take from the corner of my eye

Never noticed you before, I’m wondering why

Baby I’ve been waiting on a moment

Oh and I think you know it

You keep smiling at your shoes

I’ve been mixing you with all of my drinks

And I laugh as you watch me think

Of the ways this could play out with you

Ohhhhhhh

And it’s you, and it’s you, and it’s you I love

'cause you’re sweet like candy

Not too demanding

Oh remembering you

In the halls of our old school

Makes me smile like a damn fool

Oh yes, you’re sweet like candy

Sparkle like a shandy

Thinking back feels like a dream

Darling you make me want to

Take a second look at everything

Baby, it’s the prettiest thing

How when the light is shining

The frizz makes a halo in your hair

Baby, every time I look at you

I see something brand new

And I can’t help but stare

Ohhhhhhh

And it’s you, and it’s you, and it’s you I love

'cause you’re sweet like candy

Not too demanding

Just remembering you

In the halls of our old school

Makes me smile like a damn fool

Oh yes, you’re sweet like candy

Sparkle like a shandy

Thinking back feels like a dream

Darling you make me want to

Take a second look at everything

Love is patient, love it hides

Right in plain view in front of your eyes

Love is patient, patience, I try

But with youuuuuu… damn did it take its sweet time

'CAUSE BABE YOU KNOW I LOVE YA 'CAUSE YOU’RE

Sweet like candy

So damn enchanting

I just can’t believe

I missed you first time around

And now you are my everything
